He Left His Dream Job For Real Estate… Was It Worth It?
Avery Carl, BiggerPockets best selling author, interviews Adam, a former scout for the New York Yankees, shares his unconventional journey into real estate, starting from a background in baseball, and eventually transitioning to sales to gain back time and financial stability. Avery and Adam delve into the challenges of finding deals, especially in untapped markets, and the importance of having multiple exit strategies. They also talked about the significance of networking and building genuine relationships in the real estate industry.
Avery: Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Short-Term Show. We’ve got a super cool guest today, Adam Chowski… got it right, right?
Adam: You got it first time! I love it, awesome, thank you.
Avery: So sorry, uh, he’s done things a little bit differently—like, a little, I would say a little unconventional—in terms of, um… the way a lot of people on the podcast have done things. So, really cool guest, really excited to interview him. How’s it going, Adam?
Adam: It’s going great, Avery. Nice way to start the Monday. Get to talk, uh, real estate, especially with one of the GOATs, as I consider in the short-term market. So, yeah, it’s exciting to talk to you.
Avery: Well, thank you. Uh, well, thank you so much for coming on. And let’s start off by you just telling us and our listeners a little bit about yourself—where you came from, how you got started in real estate.
Adam: Sure. So, you know, like you said, my background is different. Did the old college thing, you know, baseball was my passion back then, and you know, that’s kind of where I wanted to go into after college. I worked in a few different capacities. I fortunately got in with, you know, Prof Prof team. I worked for the New York Yankees for about six years, and then, you know, you kind of have an epiphany. I turned 30, and, you know, just had a life change. You know, I realized I kind of wanted a little bit more in life. You know, I was missing family events, you know, financially, money wasn’t the best. So, you know, I’m looking for other ways to kind of grow and kind of get back some of my time. As much as I loved what I did, so that’s when I kind of started.
